The questions to answer for each video:

What is the name and artist for the video?

What is the concept of the video? Please use 1-2 sentences to explain the story and/or concept. (Dance video? Lip sync? Concert footage? Literal adaptation? etc).

What are three or four things that you like about the video? Be very specific.
